First-Wave Feminism and Women's Civil and Political Rights in South America

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This ambitious book compares the movements to reform women's legal status over half a century in seven South American countries. Its broad comparative approach challenges many facile generalizations about Latin American legal and women's history. A truly impressive achievement." - Silvia Arrom, Jane's Professor of Latin American Studies Emerita, Brandeis University, U.S.A.

"Carmen Diana Deere's work represents an excellent and necessary input for research and teaching from a gender and feminist perspective in the field of social sciences, especially for feminist economists in Latin America. Until now, we did not have material that informed us about this topic in historical and comparative terms for a large part of the region. Likewise, the work is essential to understand the relationship between feminist demands, maternalism, and social, political and economic contexts." - Alma Espino, President of the Interdisciplinary Center for Development Studies of Uruguay (CIEDUR).
